I think that the reference to “Hooverizing” is meant to mean the Food Administration and its leader, Herbert Hoover. This makes more sense in the context of the letter from 12/21/1917 where Sam reports Lena is “Hoverizing” on food stuffs and he too is “econimizing” on paper. A quick look at the Wiki article on Hoover reveals that his detractors, at least, referred to his economy drive as “Hooverizing”.

Have you been to France or thought of visiting the sites where Sam served? We had a wonderful trip last fall visiting the places where family members served with the 26th Division.
